Ayurvedic
Treatments
Marma Massage
Marma massage is based on the concept of Marmas (The vital energy
points of the body where life is concentrated). Marma massage
helps to protect and energize these points and strengthens the
muscles, joints and ligaments. This type of massage can be done
regularly for the healthy as well as the diseased. It maintains
the health by body rejuvenation and is excellent for relieving
muscle pain, stress, arthritis, etc. This massage also improves
your body flexibility and energy level.
Kalari Massage
In this massage the therapist balances their weight with the help
of a rope that is attached to the ceiling and performs the massage
with their feet. This massage is more suitable for people with
strong muscular builds or who prefer a more athletic massage.
Done the day before any form of strenuous or prolonged exercise,
it will condition the body and help to prepare it for the coming
exertion.
Shirodhara
'Shiro' meaning head and 'Dhara' meaning float.
An Ayurvedic therapy where warm oil, milk or medicated buttermilk
is poured over the forehead in a continuous stream helping to
clear and slow the mind. This therapy is very useful for persons
suffering from mental stress and tension, sleeplessness, burning
sensation of the head and body, giddiness, paralysis, and chronic
fever. It gives a cooling effect for both head and body and is
very nourishing.
Ayurvedic Head, Neck and Shoulder
Massage
This massage is done with the client in a sitting position. Tension
in the upper body leads to tension headaches, stiff and achy shoulders
and neck, hampered nervous conductivity, and blood circulation
to the head resulting in poor concentration and weak memory. By
relaxing the shoulders and neck, we can give instant relief and
improve people's well being.
Other Modalities Offered

to open and balance the flow of energy throughout your body.
A Thai yoga massage session is performed while fully clothed on

muscle pain and tension as well as increased range of motion and
flexibility.
Reiki
‘Reiki’ is a Japanese word meaning ‘universal’
(Rei) ‘energy’(Ki). The life force or ‘Ki’
needs to be balanced to ensure optimal physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual health. A Reiki session utilizes subtle, calming
energy work to help maintain the balance of the flow of energy
throughout the body.

in this massage as the stones are placed in static positions all
over the body. The stones are also used to perform the massage

a penetrating massage that is also thoroughly restorative.
